Lua has many dialects, and I love them all ❤️
But how to write one lua-file and target them all?
Answer: metaprogramming

Here's a small ~700 bytes gpp-ish metaprogramming awk script 🎉

#lua #teal #nelua #redbean #esp32 #wasm #love2D #awk

ps. its not limited to lua

In today's ℂ𝕣𝕦𝕟𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤 & 𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼: squash and stretch.

There's no change in animation, just in code.

With that said, be sure to make your sprite drawing frame customizable, I had to re-implement a framework function to extend this functionality.

We (the team) were a bit bothered with the amount of time consumed by restart transition.

Now is faster by identifying that it was a level restart.

Transition finally works!

Working again on my game, the GUI it's probably finished (thanks Polyglot project for translations!)

Now I need to save these settings

So, I implemented some sort of "Rust-ish traits" for Nelua, and seems to match very well with Entity-Components patttern...

Maybe that's why ECS it's so popular on Rust gamedev scene.

That was hard, but I finally did it 😶

On LDtk, I only had support for number properties (like Money = 20), now properties of any type can be obtained.

Seems simple, but I had to write a json parser for this 😶.

Now, with this, I probably can resume the development of the game I was making hehe.

#nelua #gamedev #ldtk

It works, finally 🥲, if I complete the Object, Array and union bits, it'll be finally near to resume game development by actually developing a game 😅.

#nelua

New attack patterns :)

The problem now is making this enemy actually doing something 🤔.

The trigonometrical "final" boss can't hurt you 👀
